RE: Need root mapping for servlet but want to be able to retrieve ima ges... pls help

["Cox, Charlie" <cc...@cincom.com>]

If you are using tomcat4, you can  use a filter to help with this.

you can map a directory to your servlet
<url-pattern>/myservlet/*</urlPattern>

then you can create a filter that maps '/*' and checks the requested URL
itself to see if it should be passed on(call doChain()) or
forwarded to /servlet/ to process it within the servlet(forward() without
calling doChain()).


Another alternative is you can map file types to a servlet
<url-pattern>*.html</urlPattern>

This allows you to leave images and jsp files alone.
